LIFE OF NOMINEE NOT ONE SWEET SONG

Washington, D. C., June 22.— Trials of a presidential nominee have been brought home to Senator Harding every day since he was named at Chicago. Here are some that he has had to contend with: Having his negro cook interviewed as to what he' has to eat. Having “Elder” John Sims, Die colored barber, who prayed for him, interviewed on the text of the prayer. Having a cigar named after him without knowing its quality. Having to buy presents for children named after him. Having photographers' spoil your drive on the golf links. Having women reporters write that Mrs. Harding wore frayed gloves when she came home from Chicago after the nomination. Having to act pleasant to the fellow who always says “I just wanted to shake your hand.”
